seems like as good a time as any to experience hitchcock’s underrated masterpiece FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT (1940); an espionage thriller on the eve of global war and the antecedent to decades of a cinema of scale
Wagner Moura will reunite with ‘The Secret Agent’ director Kleber Mendonça Filho to star in his next film ‘FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT’. (Source: @oxentepipoca)

When one reads 'Pride and Prejudice' as a teen or a 20-something, it’s easy to get swept up in the romance. If you reread it in your mid-30s, though, you may come to the same realization Alderton did: “Mrs. Bennet’s kind of the hero of the whole f--king thing.” vanityfair.visitlink.me/6VVR…

ever since i listened to his director's commentary on The Witch, which was mostly just him being self-conscious and mad at minuscule unnoticeable errors, i knew i was soulbound to his work, but this collab is toooo perfect

I know we all like to feel superior to the artists we criticize, smarter and better informed, but a little humility and an acknowledgment that we might be missing things, even if only acknowledged in private, could do wonders for the reductive way we often talk about art here.
